I came out of the China Wholesale Building and walked through a forest to the Ob River. I walked along the path along the shore in the direction of the subway station, admiring the scenery along the coast as I went. On both sides of the Ob River are patches of birch forests, and the small buildings with red walls on the opposite bank are hidden behind the golden birch forests, looking at the past from a distance like oil paintings. The reeds on the shore had withered and yellowed, and suddenly a few wild ducks were startled by the waves of the barges speeding through the river, and quacked out of the reeds. The Ob River flows gently and horizontally, and several steamers sail on the wide river, and on a cruise ship a few Russians sit leisurely on the top of the cabin basking in the sun.

I have read in the literature that the Novosibirsk region is rich in hydro resources. There are about 400 rivers here, and the largest river is the Ob River in front of me. The Ob River is a world-famous river, one of the largest rivers in Asia, and the third largest river in Russia by flow, with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers, second only to the Yenisei River and the Lena River. The Ob River originates in the Altai Mountains and flows in a curved northwest, crossing Western Siberia and emptiring into the Kara Sea in the Arctic Ocean through the Gulf of Ob. It is a major transport artery, connected to the Volga River and connected to the Yenisei River by the Guò Canal, with a navigable section of almost 15,000 kilometers, which crosses the heart of Russia, which has a very different natural environment. The Ob River is the main transport route in Western Siberia, and many goods enter and exit along the Ob River's northern sea route across the Arctic Ocean. A large hydroelectric power station was built on the Ob River, not far from Novosibirsk, and the electricity generated supplied the entire city of Novosibirsk. So the Ob River plays a vital role in the economic development of the Novosibirsk region. Novosibirsk Oblast is also known as "Lake Oblast" because of its large and small rivers, as well as thousands of large and small lakes.

I saw a small Turkish restaurant by the river not far from the pier, so I went in to find a table by the window, ordered a burrito, lamb, and yogurt. After a fragrant lunch, it was still lunch break, so I asked for another cup of Turkish coffee, and I leisurely drank it while enjoying the scenery on the Ob River. There weren't many people eating in the restaurant, and the owner walked up to my table with a cup of tea and asked if I could sit across from me? I nodded and motioned for him to sit, and the boss sat down and reached out to shake my hand and introduced himself, "My name is Muhammad." I told him, "My name is Peng, I'm from China, and I'm very happy to meet you." Muhammad asked: "Are you doing business in the Chinese wholesale building in front of you?" I replied, "I'm not doing business there, I'm here on a business trip." "I come from Trabzon, a port city across the sea from Turkey and Sochi, and my wife is a Russian-born here. I asked, "How's your restaurant business?" Muhammad shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said: "This restaurant has been open for a year, and the business is usually only able to make ends meet. He asked me, "How is your China developing now?" Is the life of the common people good? I replied, "China is developing very well, and the lives of the common people are okay." It is stronger than Russia. He asked, "Why is there so much low-grade goods sold in that wholesale building?" I didn't know how to answer better, so I had to say, "Russians don't have money, so they can only buy those bargains." He nodded in agreement. "I also have a shop in the city, where my wife sells Turkish clothes, and if there are any good Chinese goods, I can also buy some and sell them in the store," he said. "I promised him to keep an eye on him. At the checkout, Muhammad said that he would invite me to the coffee and that he would have time to sit with him more in the future. I thought that the environment here is very good, the Turkish food tastes good, and I can bring Tanya over to sit in the future, and I can also take a cruise, and maybe develop a business customer, so I agreed.

When I returned to the office in the afternoon, Katya immediately told me the address of the China wholesale market as soon as she saw me, and I heard that it was the same place I had just visited. I told her, "I just came back from there. Katya was surprised and asked, "Peng, how did you find it?" I joked, "I called 02 (the police) to ask." Ka Jiaxin thought it was true and said: "The police station still has this service, and I knew that I asked directly on the phone yesterday." I laughed, and Katya reacted and laughed with me. I told her, "A friend took me there." She asked, "Is there anything good in the wholesale market?" I shook my head and said, "It's nothing, it's similar to the Chinese goods sold in the tent section of the central market, but the price should be cheaper." Lena said on the side, "Peng, you can take us shopping on Sunday, and you will definitely be able to buy a bargain." I said, "Okay, I'll take you there, and I'll take you to a Turkish restaurant," Katya and Lena applauded in unison.

I dialed the phone number of the domestic company, and it happened that Brother Chao was in the company, and I told him about the situation of China's wholesale buildings. Brother Chao said: "I want to know more about the delivery situation at the Heihe and Suifenhe ports, if I can, some of our goods can be shipped through Guò, so that it may be more convenient and cost-effective than our normal way to deliver goods to Novosibirsk." I said, "The company's goods will be very flexible and not subject to quantity restrictions, but there should be no normal customs declaration procedures." Brother Chao said: "You can try small batches, such as greeting cards and calendars set this time, and you can try to send some from the port to Novosibirsk." I said, "This may be faster than shipping the containers, after all, the containers have to be cleared in Manchuria and then reloaded in Zabaikal, which will be delayed for a few days." However, if the goods are shipped to Novosibirsk through the Guò port, they will not be able to sell in the name of the company without normal customs procedures. Chao Ge said: "When the time comes, it will be no problem to receive the goods in the name of the Russians." I said, "In that case, you can receive the goods in Tanya's name, and I want to study with you if you can open a shop for her to run." Brother Chao said: "Your idea is good, when I go back, we will study it carefully and see how to do it best." I also talked about how much Zhuoya wants slimming tea and how much money the slimming tea sells here, and Brother Chao said: "Slimming tea is very profitable, but if slimming tea is exported to Russia, it needs a lot of Russian approvals, and it is difficult to operate." I'll bring a few boxes for Zoya when I go back. ”

I then asked Brother Chao: "Greeting cards, calendars, and samples of plastic flowers are for Ivan to see, right?" Brother Chao said: "They have seen it, helped to choose some, they are also optimistic about these things, and they have also ordered some plastic flowers, because they have not signed a contract with us for fear that it will be too late, so the greeting card and the calendar have not been decided." I raised my concern: "If they also order plastic flowers, will it affect the goods we send?" Brother Chao said: "We are mainly based on cooperation with them, their own delivery is not the focus, I can send some different varieties of plastic flowers, and Novosibirsk is so big, this goods will not affect each other, wait a while I want Xiao Wang to fax the picture and the specific order quantity to you." "After talking to Brother Chao, I think that if my small business starts slowly in the future, it is not enough to rely on Sveta to help bring a little goods every time, I can also ask my home to deliver goods to me through the Guò port.

When waiting for the domestic fax, I called Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao said on the phone, the location of the wholesale market in the city has been done to start selling goods, the business is not bad, the location of the suburban wholesale market is ready to wholesale some children's clothing, there are not many children's clothes in the market, the business should be very good, Wang Fatzi also began to sell Xiao Tao their blankets, the business is very good, in short, everyone is very happy now. I talked about finding a Chinese wholesale store today, and I also want to open a store in the future, which can be shipped through the Guò port. Xiao Tao said that they are also going to send some children's clothes through the port delivery method of guò, and if I open a store here, he will have any good goods to supply me. Listening to Xiaotao's words, my confidence in opening a store is even greater.

The domestic fax came, I discussed it with Kajalena, they all thought the picture was good, although it was black and white, the number of orders could be increased, I said that our partners also ordered plastic flowers, and we didn't send too many goods ourselves. I fed back Katya and Lena to Brother Chao, who said that the order was set like this, and he asked Xiao Wang to place an order for the factory to arrange production.

When it was time to get off work, I called home and asked my dad to buy another 30 boxes of slimming tea to send on the international train.
